Dudes! We made a short film inspired by all of our fav films growing up skating and surfing like North Shore, Thrashin’, Rad, Point Break, Gleaming the Cube, Bill and Ted’s, the Goonies and Repo Man! It’s called LOTUS POINT and we’re dropping the first trailer right now!
Written by the two founders of EPSS — Ramsey Dau @ramsey_dau (graphic designer / artist of EPSS) & Joel Kazuo Knoernschild @joelkazuoknoernschild and directed by Joel (his “other” job is a director), we’ve been writing / working on this short film for over a decade and were able to pull in our close friends from the industry to make this collaboration happen. We’re so stoked to finally share it with you!It’s currently being submitted for the festival circuit and will keep you posted when and where it screens in the near future. Yew!
Starring our insanely talented buds Taylor Gray @taylorgray3, Olan Prenatt @olanprenatt, Kai Lennox @kai.r.lennox and co-starring Jade McDaniel @realslimjadey, Brian DeRozan @brianderozan, Sam Oh @gayvirginofficial, Kara Eilander @_karae, and Terence Sullivan @tdawgslim

——
Teetering on the edge of eviction, two young skateboarders Trev and Nate are inseparable best friends born and raised in the quickly gentrifying neighborhood of Echo Park.
Buying a VHS tape at a local garage sale, they discover a 90s home movie showing a forgotten, mythical wave breaking in L.A.’s Echo Park Lake! This discovery leads them on a quest and fight for survival against a corrupt local developer for the legend that is Echo Park’s long lost wave, Lotus Point!

June 2nd, 2015. Ten years ago today, we released the music video for 40oz On Repeat. It was the first single from FIDLAR’s second album.
The debut record was self-recorded, self-produced, and without hearing the 50+ songs that were written in between albums to get them here, this new song was a pretty abrupt leap forward.
I’m not exaggerating when I say FIDLAR’s DIY ethos was like a religion to me and it was important that we had a video that matched the new sound, but kept the same spirit that attracted fans to begin with. We had more money to work with than ever before. $10k! For us, this was a huge budget. I asked each member to submit 5 music videos that, in their minds, felt like big budget, iconic videos. Then I picked 3 from each list and added 3 of my own. 15 music videos that we’d recreate and weave together. And we’d do it all out of cardboard.
We spent the next 6 days building and painting 12 sets, sourcing 45 costumes from thrift stores, and tracking down a dozen terrible wigs (that we still own). On the 7th day, we shot the whole thing.
For me, more than any other video I’ve worked on, this one stands out as a turning point. Not just because I’m proud of it, but because of how damn fun it was to make. It was every friend we had, showing up every day for a week, working together (also a lot of weed and alcohol back then, let’s be honest). We took it seriously, but we weren’t serious about it. It was just FUN. And that fun atmosphere has been something I’ve tried to maintain ever since.
So it’s 10 years later. I’m going through all these photos and behind the scenes footage yesterday, and the big “who woulda thought,” cherry on top for me, is that in the decade since making this goofy-ass video, I’ve actually gotten to work with 3 of the bands that inspired it. What crazy world is this?
I’m forever grateful to FIDLAR and all our friends that showed up back then (and many times after) that gave me one of the most memorable weeks of my life.

June 2nd, 2015. Ten years ago today, we released the music video for 40oz On Repeat. It was the first single from FIDLAR’s second album.
The debut record was self-recorded, self-produced, and without hearing the 50+ songs that were written in between albums to get them here, this new song was a pretty abrupt leap forward.
I’m not exaggerating when I say FIDLAR’s DIY ethos was like a religion to me and it was important that we had a video that matched the new sound, but kept the same spirit that attracted fans to begin with. We had more money to work with than ever before. $10k! For us, this was a huge budget. I asked each member to submit 5 music videos that, in their minds, felt like big budget, iconic videos. Then I picked 3 from each list and added 3 of my own. 15 music videos that we’d recreate and weave together. And we’d do it all out of cardboard.
We spent the next 6 days building and painting 12 sets, sourcing 45 costumes from thrift stores, and tracking down a dozen terrible wigs (that we still own). On the 7th day, we shot the whole thing.
For me, more than any other video I’ve worked on, this one stands out as a turning point. Not just because I’m proud of it, but because of how damn fun it was to make. It was every friend we had, showing up every day for a week, working together (also a lot of weed and alcohol back then, let’s be honest). We took it seriously, but we weren’t serious about it. It was just FUN. And that fun atmosphere has been something I’ve tried to maintain ever since.
So it’s 10 years later. I’m going through all these photos and behind the scenes footage yesterday, and the big “who woulda thought,” cherry on top for me, is that in the decade since making this goofy-ass video, I’ve actually gotten to work with 3 of the bands that inspired it. What crazy world is this?
I’m forever grateful to FIDLAR and all our friends that showed up back then (and many times after) that gave me one of the most memorable weeks of my life.
